Weekend Series

The Twins are facing the Blue Jays this weekend. The Jays aren’t playing very well and Baker is facing rookie Jesse Litsch, I have the Twins as 56% favorites.

Litsch looks like he will have a 2:1 K to BB ratio with very good control with a about a 52% GB percentage.

Gardy is still pitching Ortiz this weekend even though the Twins had an off day, so all of the pitchers will get an extra days rest. 3 days rest was enough in the past, and now 4 days rest is not enough?

He has to learn to pitch his best starters more often. There is no reason that the Santana shouldn't have many more starts than Ortiz by the end of the season. But it doesn’t look that way. A strategy of utilizing your worst player as much as your best player is not an efficient way of garnering more wins. So fa rthis season Santana has 10 starts and Ortiz 9. Ortiz will be tied with Santana after tomorrow's game.

Reusse said that he was told that 'Ortiz had a good bullpen session". That is why he is not being skipped in the rotation. That makes as much sense as me saying they should start Crain because he is a starter in MLB 2k7 on my XBox and he had a good season. Both are not real life situations.

Pick of the Day: by the Baseball System

Its always tough to pick favorites but there are a couple good favorite bets tonight.

NYN over Fla -125

Bos over Tex -190 this game has tough odds but I have Boston as a 70% favorite.

There are 2 good underdog games.

TB over CHA +115

Hou over Ariz +107

I have both of these teams as slight favorites.

So far this season the System is doing great. It has soom good days and bad days but is doing very well in the long run.
